Heaven and Hell
Life's Dichotomy: Love and Loss
Lyrics
Mother makes a bath and smiles
Mother prepares a bath and smiles
While she watches her five children drown
She observes her five children drowning silently
Without a sound
The drowning occurs without any audible noise
Love in sickness and in health
Expressing love in both sickness and health
Her tearful husband pleas in her defend,
Her tearful husband pleads to defend her, claiming she lost her senses
"She lost her sense"
Attributing the mother's actions to a loss of rationality or awareness
Don't need to look beyond, take a look around
No need to look beyond; observe the present surroundings
From the time we're born 'til we join the ground
Life from birth to death, a continuous cycle
Heaven and Hell always close by
Heaven and Hell are always in close proximity
Two worlds made on earth while we're still alive
Two contrasting worlds created on Earth while alive
Boy and girl in summer grass
A boy and girl in the summer grass
Sun as witness, promise from the heart
The sun bears witness to a heartfelt promise of never parting
To never part
A commitment to stay together as a family
Family has to move away
The family is forced to move away
"Forever" now a cold wind in the past,
The promise of "forever" becomes a distant memory, replaced by a cold wind of the past
Love couldn't last
Love couldn't endure the test of time
Don't need to look beyond
No need to look beyond the present moment
Don't need to look beyond, take a look around
Reiteration of not looking beyond; focus on the present
From the time we're born 'til we join the ground
Life's journey from birth to joining the ground
Heaven and Hell always close by
Heaven and Hell are always nearby
No surprises when we die
No surprises when facing death
Heaven and Hell always close by
Heaven and Hell persistently close throughout life
Our first kiss and last goodbye
Reflection on the duality of existence with the mention of a first kiss and last goodbye
